The Girl in the Hoodie is Mine
I had three simple rules: 1. Never remove the hood and mask. 2. Don’t attract attention. 3. Follow rule one and two at all costs. Simple, right? Well, I followed them religiously—until Jason came along and shattered them all. I didn’t want anyone to know my identity. I just wanted to stay in the shadows, finish school, and disappear. But no, the stupid jock had to get in my way, and now my peaceful, hidden life is in ruins. I didn’t mean to embarrass the school’s golden boy. His name? Jason. He’s the son of the country’s richest CEO. Ironically, I chose this place to hide from my own father, the man I’m trying to escape. I look too much like him, and if anyone made the connection, my cover would be blown. Hence, the hood and mask I wear every single day. But now, instead of just hiding from my father, I have to watch out for Jason, too. He’s vowed to make my life miserable. I still can’t figure out his obsession with me—one minute he’s humiliating me in front of everyone, and the next he’s trying to kiss me behind the bleachers.

Ella POV:
Okay, so… this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Jason—against all odds—actually kept his promise. I handed over my notes, expecting him to make some sarcastic comment or crack a joke, but he just sat there quietly, flipping through the pages like a diligent student.
Every now and then, though, he'd glance up at me with this ridiculously sweet smile, like he was trying to charm the very air around him. I mean, who does that? Jason King, the self-proclaimed king of arrogance, sitting in my living room, behaving. Studying.
This was officially weird.
I tried to ignore him, focusing on my own work—my laptop open, fingers typing furiously as I powered through an assignment. But the weight of his gaze kept pulling my attention. I glanced up and, sure enough, there it was again—that stupid, soft smile.
"What?" I finally snapped, unable to take it anymore.
